Social Security and Medicare were strictly public plans. They did not use or create a private structure that would continually try to maximize profits and would allow for lobbying to drain the money out of it. I am getting very tired of this foolish talking point.

You want to compare it to something compare it to the military industrial complex or the for-profit prison industry.

With social security and medicare all that was required to improve it was allocation of more funding and broadening the rules.

With an army of well paid insurance lobbyists that is never going to happen with this bill.
